Computers are becoming cheaper and faster, and more efficient nonlinear programming (NLP) algorithms are being developed. This paper attempts to illustrate the potential of NLP by describing the ...

This paper presents a realistic chemical-process optimization problem in detail, and notes the fact of its equivalence to the general nonlinear programming problem. The eight equality constraints that ...

Together, these developments underscore the potential of non-linear programming techniques to improve both the economic and technical performance of gas networks. Technical Terms ...
